...I really like this DVD, bought mine last year. Basically, I am a fan of any special forces that exist in the world and my favorite would be the SAS (Special Air Service). Inside the DVD, they will reveal all the tricks of the trade including the five S's of camouflage: shape, shine, shadow, silhouette and spacing. From surviving hostage situations to coping with brutal interrogations and torture the team show off their skills. Find out how to set up a covert observation post, learn the secrets of firepower tactics or just pick up some tips on how to escape and how to evade the enemy.I also like the style they make this story, using a series of mini-dramas and reconstructions on the ins and outs of survival techniques taught to the elite group, which to me, seems really realistic.
For those who bought this DVD, I would also recommend...

Although these actors aren't famous as say- people like Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz or Brad Pitt or anyone like that, it sure is a great film. This astounding movie is directed by Brian Henson who funnily enough directed a lot of the "Muppets" movies: Muppets...

Advantages: The DVD looks and sounds terrific...every element falls into place beautifully... Disadvantages: those who hate Romeo & Juliet probably wont bother to give it a chance...
...the original stage players had a special magic to them; well, I didn't see the original production for obvious reasons. The two actors that I thought really stole the film however were Rita Morena (as Barnardo's girlfriend Anita) and Chakiris, who both won Oscars; let me put it this way, Chakiris alone is to dancing, what Muhammed Ali is to boxing. Robbins is the real master behind WEST SIDE STORY however, and he deservedly got two Oscars...one special one for his choreography and one for co-directing with Wise. An impressive achievement.... considerering also that he was fired halfway during production.
Of course, the DVD looks great while making the film, which was released back in 1961, seem like it was made yesterday. The DVD includes a second disk with an hour long documentary "Memories of West Side Story," which featured...
